Tips to Help You in Selecting Unique Corporate Gifts in Kenya

In order to ensure that your gift is unique and will stand out, you should ask yourself the following questions when selecting gifts for your employees. clients, or prospects:

1. What is the nature of your relationship?

The kind of relationship you have with your employees or clients should be used to determine the kind of gift to be given. If you have a personal relationship with the recipient then you can go for a more intimate kind of gift, but if your relationship is purely professional or business, then the gift should also reflect that kind of seriousness or professionalism. Remember that being too casual or too professional when not required may lessen the value of your gift.

2. What is the budget for the gift?

Corporate gifts should be catered for in the financial budget of your company or business to avoid going overboard or doing less than it is expected. Gifts should not be an afterthought but rather a well-thought-out plan ready to be executed. Operating with and within a budget allows you ample time to plan and decide the kind of gifts to pick and for whom. Ensure the budget is wisely used by picking the best gifts possible but within the budget framework.

3. What is the recipient’s title or standing?

The recipient’s title or standing should also be considered before selecting unique corporate gifts. Different gifts are appropriate for different titles and social standings and care should be taken not to cross these boundaries. For example, when gifting CEOs or business executives the type of gift selected should reflect the recipient’s title. Gifts for employees and regular customers or clients should are also different from each other. Selecting the best gift for each category of recipients is an art that is perfected after many trials and errors.

4. Are there gift laws you should observe?

Some companies or individuals are governed by strict laws when it comes to gifts. It is also illegal to give some gifts in some countries. You should familiarise yourself with any gift laws that are relevant to the recipients of your gifts. It is very easy for gifts to be misconstrued as bribes, and therefore, your gift should be as open as possible. In some countries, things like alcohol are illegal; therefore, gifting people from those countries such gifts can even get them in trouble with the authorities. If you are not sure about any laws you should ask before selecting the gift.

5. The gender of the recipient?

Without careful consideration for the gifts to be given, it is very easy for gifts to go to the wrong people which leads to a lot of misunderstandings. Although most unique corporate gifts are unisex, there are some that are meant for one gender or the other, and if given to the wrong one, their meaning will be lost. For example, you cannot gift a female employee or client a gift tie and cuff links set.
